Re: Golf thread

Will be interesting to see if he can play real well in the majors this year.

This past weekend handed the media a nice little gift, with Pebble Beach hosting this year's U.S. Open, the only major Mickelson's never won. Hype machine will be running full.

That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

I'm getting about 20 extra yards on my driver and 10 on the irons and more importantly I can work the ball better compared to my Adams clubs. I kept my Adams 3 wood and I use hybrids in place of fairway woods for the most part. I can hit them like irons whereas a wood I don't hit as well.I know a lot of people are going to those driving irons as fairway woods, but I don't like them that much. I carry 3, 4 and 5 hybrids.

This caddy thing is kind of blowing up...

I understand both sides of it, but hey, just pay the man. It's not like it'd hurt financially. Call it a gesture of goodwill and "I mighta effed up."

Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

KFAN has talked about it the last couple of days.. I’d ha e just paid him normal, but I understand the logic as to why he paid less — he did offer $15,000, but even that seems like a small number restive to standard caddy cuts.

The caddy signed the contract, so on that end, so be it. But then Kuchar won it all, and simply abided by the contract. Hey, throw in a little extra. Him trying to defend it...the statements he made...that part was kinda bullsh*. "Hey you make $5, here's $50", so to speak.

Re: Golf thread

Kuchar should have just said to him, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

The caddy would at least have that going for him.
